Selling Your Published Book as an Ebook

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my no-cost internet marketing course: Internet Passive Income. Thanks for visiting!

In a previous post, I mentioned doing some search engine optimization for Gregg Cochlan on the website for his book, Love Leadership: What the World Needs Now. Gregg is a Canadian author who not only sells domestically, but also to the U.S. and international market.

The problem that Gregg was having, similar that of another author that I work with, was that Amazon’s 55% “fee” and the cost of shipping the books to Amazon, was eating up his profit. Gregg asked me if I could help him sell his book online and avoid some of Amazon’s fees. I told him that I could.

What I did was set-up a shopping cart system called “E-Junkie” so that people could buy the book directly from Gregg. E-Junkie only costs $5.00 per month, and it can be used to sell both downloadable (”digital”) products such as ebooks, software and mp3’s and physical products. Gregg is now selling “Love Leadership” as an eBook. He emailed me yesterday to let me know that he got his first ebook sale! Very nice. I hope he gets many, many more.

If you want to see how Gregg is selling his book, go directly to his website: Love Leadership. And to plug one of my own products, if you want a simple way to sell online AND you want someone to walk you through the process, consider buying my E-Junkie Quick Start Videos.

Passive Income, PayPal Debit Card and INSTANT Gratification

I am surprised by how motivating it is to have a PayPal debit card attached to my PayPal account.

It’s great being able to buy a cup of coffee, or a meal, or gas, with money that comes directly from my passive income streams. Someone in France, the U.K, the U.S or god knows where else - buys a download. Then the money goes automatically into my PayPal account, where I can access it instantly through the debit card.

Previously, I would have to transfer the money to my bank account before having access to it. Somehow the immediacy of the debit card makes the income more real and more emotionally satisfying.

And a brief note about Google Checkout. I mentioned in a previous ecommerce post, that I added Google Checkout as a payment option to my e-junkie shopping cart. I do not have the exact figures in front of me, but there has been a substantial increase in sales. I’d estimate it at 20%.

Is E-junkie’s $5 per month ecommerce solution worth anything?

E-junkie Shopping Cart and Digital Delivery

Can a $5 per month ecommerce system be worth a darn? That’s the question that I asked myself 3 months ago when looking at E-junkie’s all-in-one service (commonly misspelled as ejunkie). They will host your digital downloads (audio, video, software, ebooks and more) and take care of all the back end work. Someone buys your product and ejunkie sends them a download link, collects the money via paypal and sends you notification of the sale. But does it work?

I was skeptical at first. I was using 1shoppingcart.com’s $79 per month system, plus a $20 per month merchant account through PayPal. I like 1shoppingcart a great deal, but it was too expensive for me at the time.

After putting E-junkie through the paces, I give it my full-recommendation and support. They give you a 1-week free trial to test it (no credit card needed). And the system is simple and easy to use. You don’t need to know html or programming of any kind. You simply type in a few details about your product, enter your PayPal account email and click the “browse” button to upload whatever product that you want to sell.

And after teaching 20 people how to use it at the last Web Whisperer’s Internet Marketing Bootcamp, I can say that it is suitable for people of all levels and abilities.

I liked E-junkie so much that I pulled together 25 million dollars of funding and bought the company.

Ok, not really. But I did create a series of downloadable, quicktime movies that explain e-junkie step-by-step. If you already have some digital products to sell, you can download my e-junkie videos and be ready to sell online in 60 minutes or less.

Really. It’s that simple. Here’s the lowdown:
